28 Claims.

The present invention relates to cash registers and accounting or bookkeeping machines and is particularly directed to the difierential mechanisms and the totalizer mechanisms of such machines.

The main object of the present invention is the provision of an accounting machine having various unique features which make it easily adaptable to various business systems, the arrangement and the construction of the parts of said ma chine making for the economical manufacturing and assembling thereof and providing convenient and ready accessibility of the various units of the machine for the purpose of adjustment and/ or repair in case these are desirable or necessary.

Another object is the provision of a novel differential mechanism for accounting machines.

A further object is to provide a novel differential mechanism having a novel zero elimination mechanism incorporated therein.

Another object of this invention is the provision of a differential mechanism having complementary movable members, one of which is positioned under influence of the amount keys and the other of which is positioned under in fluence of the said one member and in turn is directly engaged by the wheels of the selected totalizer or totalizers for the purpose of actuating same.

Still another object is the provision of a differential mechanism having complementary positionable members, one of which is positioned under influence of the corresponding depressed amount key and the other of which is positioned by the said one member, the differential setting of said members being transmitted through a unique driving mechanism to the corresponding recording and indicating mechanisms.

A further object of the present invention is the provision of a differential mechanism having a primary member which is positioned under influence of the corresponding depressed amount key, and having a secondary member which is positioned by the primary member, said secondary member in turn positioning a printer operating segment which simultaneously positions a corresponding type carrier and indicator in accordance with the value of the depressed key, said segment, said type carrier, and said indicator remaining in set positions at the end of machine operation.

Still another object is the provision of a differential mechanism having a primary member which is positioned under influence of the corresponding depressed amount key and having a secondary member which is positioned by the primary member, said secondary member actuating the corresponding totalizer wheels and likewise positioning the corresponding type carriers and corresponding indicators in accordance with the positioning thereof.

Another object is to provide novel means to repeat the amount of a previous operation without foreknowledge that such amount is to be repeat-ed.

A further object is the provision of means controllable prior to an operation to repeat the amount of the previous operation without foreknowledge that such amount is to be repeated.

Another object is to provide means to repeat the amount of a previous operation without foreknowledge of such repetition, said means including differential mechanism and means positioned by said difierential mechanism in one operation and controllable by choice prior to a succeeding operation to in turn position the diiferential mechanism in said succeeding operation.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel balance or auxiliary totalizer which is actuated by the complementary differential members and which may be used in connection with the other totalizers for the solving of accounting problems in connection with various business systems.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a balance totalizer with a novel tens transfer mechanism.

A further object is to provide an accounting machine having differential members connected for complementary movement, one of said members being positioned by the value-entering elements of the machine to the complement of the true value, and the other of said elements being positioned to the true value by said first element, with a novel balance totalizer actuated by said one differential member.

Another object is to provide a balance totalizer in which the complement of the true value is received from the value-entering elements, transposed to the true value, and registered and recorded as such by said balance totalizer.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a balance totalizer which is actuated by a differential member which is positioned to the complement of the true value by the valueentering elements, said balance totalizer arranged to transpose said complement to the true value and register and record it.

Still another object is the provision of a balance totalizer to receive complementary values,
